Catawba State Park offers FREE boat launch and parking – 2 miles away. Northwest Catawba Marina is next door and offers transient docks.

What activities are there for children at the campground?

We have a small playground for children, and African Safari Wildlife Park is just three miles away. It’s very popular with the children.

Do you have shady sites at your campground?

We sure do! We’re known for our mature trees that provide plenty of shade and protection from the summer sun. We don’t recommend tent camping other than lot 28 which is very grassy.
